Pardon me if this question seems either pretty straight forward, or it has been covered before.

The scenario I'm positing isn't OTL, but for the sake of clarity/simplicity, we'll use OTL characters.
Prince Arthur of Wales survives to father progeny and becomes King Arthur. Henry, Duke of York is kept out of the church, and married to some good girl, and has at least one son.
Arthur's eldest son (Artie) marries and has two kids, a boy and a girl. Also, no Great Matter means that England remains officially Catholic. However, the duke of York takes an interest in Protestantism (à la Marguerite d'Angoulême), not actually converting but thinking that maybe this chap Luther has some valid arguments. How King Arthur and Queen Katherine feel about this is irrelevant, since by the time of the succession problem, they're both dead.

Artie's two kids are both raised as Catholics. Then Artie dies. His son succeeds. But, said boy is TTL-analogue of Edward VI and dies young. England's never had a queen regnant before (and no one thought of planning for that eventuality), so who is heir depends entirely on your point of view. To the country's Catholics, it should be Artie's sister (Kitty). However, to the Protestants (and those in favour of kings being a boys only club) they really feel that Henry, Earl of Cambridge(son of the duke of York, and an open Protestant) should be king. Kitty is still unwed, and Cambridge is already married, while Cambridge's son is too young to wed Kitty.

My question is, in the absence of a will or succession act, who would be the legal heir? Kitty or Cambridge? I imagine some peers with sons around Kitty's age would back her similarly to how Dudley backed Lady Jane Grey - i.e. in the hope of taking the crown for their family. Cambridge's mother and wife are both Englishwomen, so no hope of him garnering support from the continent.
